Very cool!

I have 5 rounds loaded that look just like that! What do you have in them??

Those are 165gr Matrix on top of 66gr of Retumbo

Cool,

Mine are 165 matrix on top of 65g of Retumbo for pressure and velocity testing. Maybe the weather will straighten out sometime so I can shoot them!

My El-cheapo Walmart 270wsm and some Matrix 165's loaded for testing.

I see you've figured out the new pic loading, I kinda like it since you can click on the pic and get more details! Need more details on the rifle!

I shot a couple drops this evening in near perfect conditions to check drop at 1030 and 1435, they we're good numbers for a rough data I need to put up targets and put them on paper to dial them any closer. Here's the data that is working good so far for me. I'm liking these Matrix more every time I pull the trigger on one, found a bullet in the sand/clay at 1030 and it opened up large and opened well into the shank, penetrated nearly 8 inches. They leave any other bullet I've shot in the dust, had 10 less MOA than the 140 Accubonds at 1435yrds.

I bought that rifle from a friend who bought it new at Walmart for 300$ and needed money.

I bought it to use on an elk hunting trip where we were going to ride up and down the wet slick icy steep narrow elk trails in colorado. On day 2 I rolled a cow with it. She was behind and above a bush that ranged 482 yards from my position, so she was a good 500 yards. It shoots Nosler 150g Partitions to real close to moa out to 300yards anyway with 3-4" groups. that was with the factory plastic stock and a Pentax 4-16x50 scope.

It is in a Choate Ultimate Sniper stock and now wears a Nitrex TR2 2-10x50 with the etched EBX reticle and pop up target turrets. I lightened and smoothed the trigger but haven't shot it much because of the weather and when it has been decent I have been shooting my Savage LRH 6.5-284. It is a pretty decent gun for the money 300$ in the gun,200$ in the stock and 200$ in the scope for 700$ total.

I am going elk hunting this year again to the same place as before so I will be taking this rifle elk hunting again, I am hoping the Matrix bullets shoot in this gun.

Those are some very nice charts you have there! I will have to get out soon to try my luck as I just found a place where I can shoot over 400yards. Now I should be able to shoot out to a half mile or more.
